Google Given Right to Appeal in Safari Cookies Case

Google has been given the right to appeal in the U.K. against a ruling in a legal case that boils back down to the infamous Safari 'Cookiegate' incidents of the early 2010s. The problem was the collection of data and the implications of that collection in relation to the U.K. Data Protection Act (DPA). So far, debate about this has kept the courts ready for almost four years . The Court of Appeal said in May that three U.K. citizens could sue Google over cookie privacy violations , which was mooted as being a potential legal epiphany, and it was suggested that Google would appeal against the ruling. Lo, and Google did appeal. And in time so did the U.K. Supreme Court, which gave the search company the right to make its stand about the case (Google Inc (Appellant) v Vidal-Hall and others ) to a higher power in an advisory note released today.
